14 Responses to No Tip

Ya know stuff like that burns me up. I think most people don't realize the minimum wage does not apply to waitstaff. Most only get paid a little over $2 an hour and depend on tips. They aren't making $10 an hour PLUS tips. I hope God gave them a nice case of explosive intestinal disorder for their vanity.

I give God 10%, but He's asked me to think of other people before myself, so I tip 15-100% (yes 100%). People matter too much to God to treat them like this Pharisee did. That's the most unloving thing I've ever seen.

Read the linked story. Parties of 8 or less could tip as they pleased. It was his portion of a table of 20. A gratuity was automatically added to groups of 9 or more and was clearly stated on the menu. The guy was just being a pompus jerk.

Further adding injury to insult, the pastor called and wanted everyone fired – from servers to managers. But she did do an interview and "apologize" for the remark AFTER she made sure the server was fired.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/tipping-pa…

To me, the most telling portion of that interview is this:

“My heart is really broken,” said the 37-year-old Bell. “I’ve brought embarrassment to my church and ministry.”

I read that statement as "look how bad things are for me!" How about the poor girl who lost her job? No compassion or pleas for her to be restored? Sad.
